• Reform of the National SportsFestival

• The National Youth U-17 Games

• Accelerated hearing of the NSC billat the National Assembly




Reform of the National SportsFestival

The National Sports Festival beganin 1973 as part of the process ofstrengthening national unity afterthe civil war.

It was meant to be the biggestsporting event in Nigeria as well as aplatform for talent identification.





However, the NSF no longer meetsour sports development goals.

• The NSF is no longer relevant as atalent identification platform.

• It has lost its glamour andtherefore, sponsorship attraction.

• It does not accommodate ourhuge reserve of diaspora talents.





The National Sports Festival hastherefore been restructured into anOpen festival.

Nigerian elite athletes all over theworld will now be eligible toparticipate, therefore making theNSF, the Nigerian Olympics.




The National Youth U-17 Games

With the restructuring of the NSF intoan Open competition, it becomesimperative o create another platformfor talent discovery.

Therefore, we have created a NationalYouth U-17 Games for early discoveryof budding sporting talents. Themaiden edition of the Games debutsin 2013.




Accelerated hearing of the NSC billat the National Assembly

Working with the HouseCommittee on Sports, the Billestablishing the National SportsCommission has passed throughsecond reading at the House ofRepresentatives.

Section 7

Football


The NFF has the overall

responsibility for football in Nigeria.

Although it’s a parastatal of the

NSC, it operates largely within the

code of the Federation of

International Football Associations

(FIFA).

Nigeria Football Federation (NFF)

Football


Over the years, the NFF had beenbedeviled by internal wranglingresulting in an avalanche oflitigations and court cases.

The lingering crises had resulted inthe series of poor performance ofour national football teams in thepast few years.


Football



Football

The climax was our failure to qualifyfor the AFCON 2011 for the firsttime in twenty-five (25) years.


In the heat of these crises, a visit toFIFA President, Sepp Blatter by theMinister of Sports, sought toreassure the world footballgoverning body that Nigeria wascommitted to a peaceful resolutionof its internal football crises.


Football


After a series of parleys,consultations and interventionsinitiated by the NSC, with theactive support of the SGF, peacewas restored to Nigerian football.

All the court cases have beenwithdrawn and all aggrievedparties have committed to workingtogether as a family.


Football


Since the resolution of all these

internal crises in the NFF, the

Super Eagles of Nigeria have not

lost a single match till date.


Football


The ensuing peace process created

an environment that nurtured our

success at the AFCON 2013 among

other championships where we

excelled in football.


Football


The Nigeria League started in 1972

with six (6) teams.

Currently, there are twenty (20) clubs

participating in the league. Eighteen

(18) out of these twenty (20) clubs are

state-owned.

The Nigeria Premier League

Football


The biggest challenge to the NigeriaPremier League is the EnglishPremier League that has become oneof the biggest brands on earth,capturing the imagination ofNigerians.

This huge challenge, presses theNigeria Premier League to step up itsgame if it must survive.


Football


Challenges

• Bad Governance

• Sponsorship Crisis

• Poor Player Welfare

• Legal Tussle


Football


The climax was a judgment by an

Abuja Federal High Court which on

20th January, 2012 declared as

illegal, the Nigeria Football League

Ltd (NFL), the company set up to

manage the football league.


Football


At its congress in December 2012,

the Board of the NFF ratified the

dissolution of the NPL Board and

set up a League Management

Committee made up of experience

football administrators from the

private sector.


Football


The League Management Committee

Football

The Committee is charged with theresponsibilities to:• Set up an efficient structure for

running the League starting fromthe 2012/2013 season.

• Review all contractual obligationsof the NPL, including TV andsponsorship rights.

• Develop new standards for playerscontracts and welfare amongstother things.


A New League Management Company

Football

To make a break from the the past, a

new company named the League

Management Company Limited

(LMC) RC 1100541 was incorporated

on 6th March 2013 to manage the

league under license from the NFF

for an initial period of 99 years.



Football

The Nigeria Football Federation and

the Premier League Clubs are the

shareholders of this company.

In time, the general public would be

able to buy shares in the company.



Football

The 2012/2013 league season hascommenced and the sponsorshipissue resolved with the release ofN550 million title rights fees byGlobacom.

The LMC has also announced aminimum wage of N150,000 forplayers in the League.


These initiatives have triggered

interest in the Nigerian League by

global sports businesses such as

SuperSport and IMG as well as

investors from Argentina.


Football


The English Premier League employs

directly and indirectly about half a

million people in England alone in

addition to offshore employment

generated across the world.

Why the League is Important

Football


Football

The Nigeria Premier League is a hugeemployment window with potential toemploy up 5,000 people on match daysalone through:• Ticketing• Security• Merchandising• Transportation• Accommodation• Media/Publicity• Food & Drinks
